Amanda Peet Welcomes Baby Daughter

A little ahead of schedule, actress Amanda Peet has given birth to her first child.

The 35-year-old actress and husband David Benioff, 36, welcomed daughter Frances Pen earlier this week. The middle name is in honor of Peet’s mother, social worker Penny.

On February 21, Peet went into labor instead of keeping plans to attend a Hollywood luncheon, reported the Post.

The Post’s source said that Peet was rushed to a nearby hospital. Peet’s representative confirmed the birth of the baby, but wouldn’t give any other details.

Peet was engaged to Benioff, a screenwriter, in July 2005 and the two wed last September.

Meanwhile, Peet has been starring in the NBC dramedy “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” which has been on the edge of cancellation since it first began to air.
